I have created the below script. I can not get only either the first part of the second part to work. I can not get them both to work.

//TRAIL obtain the value for the field objects:
var MemberBlanketfee= this.getField( ' MemberBlanketfee ').value;
var TrailTotal= this.getField(' TrailTotal ').value;
var TrailClass = this.getField(' TrailClass ').value;
var MemberDailyFee = this.getField(' MemberDailyFee ').value;
// test the value of the check box
if (MemberBlanketfee == '85')
event.value = 0;
else
event.value = TrailClass * 12;

if (MemberDailyFee == '30')
event.value = 0;
else
event.value = TrailClass * 12;

Are you getting any script errors?

Have you tired adding console statements to show what is going on?

What is not working?

Clearly explain what you are trying to acccomplish. You may have a error in the logic of your testing.
//TRAIL obtain the value for the field objects:var MemberBlanketfee = this.getField('MemberBlanketfee').value;var TrailTotal = this.getField('TrailTotal').value;var TrailClass = this.getField('TrailClass').value;var MemberDailyFee = this.getField('MemberDailyFee').value; // open javascript console for debuggingconsole.show(); console.clear();// show field values:console.println('Field values:')console.println('MemberBlanketfee: ' + MemberBlanketfee)console.println('TrailTotal: ' + TrailTotal)console.println('TrailClass: ' + TrailClass)console.println('MemberDailyFee: ' + MemberDailyFee)// results of logical tests:console.println('Logical test results:');console.println("if (MemberBlanketfee == 85) : " + (MemberBlanketfee == 85) );console.println("if (MemberDailyFee == 30) : " + (MemberDailyFee == 30) ); console.println('Action taken:'); // test the value of the check boxif (MemberBlanketfee == 85) {console.println('MemberBlanketfee')event.value = 0;}else {console.println('TrailClass * 12');event.value = TrailClass * 12;} if (MemberDailyFee == 30) {console.println('MemberDailyFee')event.value = 0;}else {console.println('TrailClass * 12');event.value = TrailClass * 12;} // assuming an or testconsole.println('');console.println('MemberBlanketfee or MemberDailyFee');if (MemberBlanketfee == 85 | MemberDailyFee == 30) {console.println('MemberDailyFee or MemberDailyFee - no charge')}else {console.println('TrailClass * 12: ' + TrailClass * 12);}

Your second condition makes the first one moot. It doesn't matter what happens in the first part, because the second one will set event.value in any case.
You need to better define what it is you want to do.

This will always go through to:
if (MemberDailyFee == '30')
event.value = 0;
else
event.value = TrailClass * 12;

What you need is:
if (MemberBlanketfee == '85' || MemberDailyFee == '30')
event.value = 0;
else
event.value = TrailClass * 12;
